Distinctive Unit Insignia
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/4 inches (3.18cm) in width consisting of a silver eagle's head detailed black in front of a crenelated wall divided vertically blue and red on a black background all encircled by a silver scroll inscribed "PROFESSIONAL" at the top and "PRIDE" on the bottom in maroon letters.
Maroon and white (silver) are the colors associated with the Dental Corps. The black background and eagle's head have been adapted from the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 101st Airborne which this unit supports. The crenelated wall is a symbol of strong defense and refers to the nature of most dental work. The wall also alludes to Ft. Campbell, the unit's location; the blue alludes to the flag of Kentucky and the red to the Tennessee state flag.
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 1 October 1980. It was cancelled effective 30 September 2016, when the unit was discontinued.
